When Danny Quinn (Donnie Wahlberg) left his tough Irish Catholic, working class neighborhood in South Boston, going back was the last thing on his mind. But when Danny returned home, he found his brothers out of work, his sister (Rose McGowan) out of control and his mother running out of time. While he may have changed, everything else is still the same- torn between loyalty and the law, between family and the streets and caught between two mob families at war - Danny must decide whether to walk away from his roots or make a stand.
